If you haven't heard by now, WFMU (91.1 on the FM dial), New York's most loved listener-supported radio station, is on week two of their two week pledge drive. They only ask for handouts once a year, so drop some change in their jukebox. Currently they're $556,000 away from their goal and need help to "pick up the pace and make our goal by this Sunday." Tonight's a good time to tune in, from 8 to 11 p.m. musicians Ted Leo and Aimee Mann will play songs for pledges on Tom Scharpling's show, and they'll also be joined by comedians Paul F. Tompkins and John Hodgman. If you don't pledge, get ready for a future filled with even more soul-crushing, mind-numbing Top 40 tunes. Oh wait, that's already happening. Yesterday K-Rock announced it'll be dropping Pearl Jam and Led Zeppelin for the likes of Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake. What's more, the station will be re-branded 92.3 NOW FM, and a senior VP at CBS Radio notes that “It’s the first new mainstream music station to be launched in New York in nearly 30 years" and the change is meant to “diversify our radio portfolio in New York City.” more ›

Enough Denville, NJ residents--and both men and women seemed skeptical of the ads--complained for Mayor Ted Hussa to request one billboard on Route 10 be taken down. more ›
